As winter sets in, I continue to freeze until I have passed the 10 mile mark at which time the truck finally puts out heat. I drive very light pedaled until it heats up, making the time it takes to heat up take longer, but I do not want to be hard on a cold engine. Now I have noticed several hundred degrees of heat being blown out even idling which could be used to heat the engine up very quickly. Just look at your EGT gauge and you will know what I am talking about. Now how do I transfer that heat to the engine water but be able to completely close off the exhaust heat transfer once I reach 200f? I have thought of 2 ways of doing it but both have limitations. 1. Run the heater core hose through a copper water block on top of the exhaust manifold which has some kind of high heat thermal transfer compound between to get the heat really moving into the copper.2. Hit off the exhaust after the turbo and run it through a heat exchanger, I'm thinking this is the basic principle behind the EGR cooler crap but I have no desire to feed the cooled air back into the intake to reduce pollution or NoX or anything. Now what I have ran into is idea #1 seems almost impossible. I would have to shut the flow of water through the water block off but bypassing it would leave coolant in the water block to boil and therefore would steam out my antifreeze causing me to always have to add more.Idea 2 on the other hand seems much more plausible. The exhaust can simply be butterfly valve'd off and then all the hot air would cease to flow through my heat exchanger. This seems rather simple if I could get a hold of an EGR cooler that everyone is throwing away, but I am not quite sure on how they govern the flow so that the truck doesn't overheat. I was hoping you guys would inspire me with some more info on the EGR coolers people throw away or give me some other ideas. I am hoping to get it from 0f to 200f in 5min. :confused:
